Travel Assistance Award Program

 

The ADVANCE at WSU Travel Assistance Award Program is an initiative designed to support conference travel for women and historically underrepresented faculty in any discipline at WSU. The aim of the program is to recognize faculty impactful in their field, and to -promote scholarship and career development by providing a travel grant to support attendance at national conferences or international scientific meetings to present significant/novel findings. Specifically, this program supports travel of dependents required to complete scientific presentations. These funds cannot be used for faculty travel or dependent care. The Travel Assistance Award Program is open to all tenure-track and tenured otherwise eligible faculty.

The ADVANCE at WSU Travel Assistance Award Program provides funding for proposals that involve invited and/or accepted presentations at national and international conferences offering unique scholarship, career, and/or leadership advancement opportunities for eligible WSU faculty.

Funding requests must demonstrate considerable potential for providing career advancement opportunities and/or assist in reducing barriers for eligible WSU faculty as previously defined: women or historically underrepresented faculty. Within one year of the completion of grant activities, grant recipients must provide a brief report on their experience with the Travel Assistance Award Program. Additionally, ADVANCE at WSU will conduct a one-year follow-up with each grant recipient.
